Understanding the
Lithium-Ion Battery Charger
Understanding Power Source
Requirements
A 20 A circuit with 230V to 250V is required for full
charger-output power. The charger is capable of
charging between 100VAC to 240VAC, but using
a power source below 230VAC results in reduced
charger-output power.
DANGER
Contact with water while charging the
machine could cause electric shock, causing
injury or death.
• Do not handle the plug or the charger with
wet hands or while standing in water.
• Do not charge the batteries in the rain or in
wet conditions.
Use the appropriate power-supply cord (for use in
your geographic region) to charge the machine. Refer
to your authorized Toro distributor for the appropriate
cord.
If you need to use an extension cord with your
power-supply cord, ensure that the extension cord
has 12 AWG wires and is rated for 250 V.
Important:
Check the power-supply cord
periodically for holes or cracks in the insulation.
Do not use a damaged cord. Do not run the cord
through standing water or wet grass. Do not
change the charger or the power-supply-cord plug
in any way.
WARNING
A damaged power-supply cord can cause an
electrical shock or a fire.
Thoroughly inspect the power-supply cord
before using the charger. If the cord is
damaged, do not operate the charger until you
obtain a replacement.
Charging the Lithium-Ion Batteries
CAUTION
Attempting to charge the batteries with a
charger not provided by Toro can result in
excessive heat and other related product
malfunctions, which can lead to property
damage and/or injury.
Use the Toro-provided chargers to charge the
batteries.
Recommended temperature range for full-power
charging: 0° to 26.6°C (32° to 80°F)
For ideal charging performance, charge the batteries
in temperatures that are within the recommended
full-power range. Charging the batteries in
temperatures beyond the recommended range (26.6°
to 40°C [80° to 104°F]) can result in reduced charging
performance.
1. Park the machine in the designated location for
charging.
2. Shut off the machine and remove the key.
3. Ensure that the battery-disconnect switch is in
the O position.

4. Remove the cover from the machine charger
port.
5. Ensure that the machine charger port and
power-supply cord are free of dust, debris, and
moisture.
6. Plug the power-supply cord into the machine
charger port (Figure
